United States Cold Storage, Inc.

At United States Cold Storage, our purpose is to help feed America. 🇺🇸 That's why this year we launched the internal Cold Crew campaign. "That's on Purpose." Finding purpose in your work is like finding a compass for your life. It gives direction, meaning, and a sense of fulfillment. When you do what you love and believe in it, work becomes more than just a job; it becomes a journey of personal growth and contribution to something bigger than yourself. As part of this campaign we asked our employees to reflect on what their purpose is in helping feed America. "The consolidation program we have built at US Cold ensures that product is delivered on time so when families go to the grocery stores their favorite food is in stock and ready to be eaten." Keith Mowery EVP Logstics & West Our role goes beyond just storing and transporting; it is our privilege to fulfill our purpose to feed America, acting as dedicated stewards of the Cold Chain to ensure every step is safely managed. 💙 #BestinCold #USCold #FeedingAmerica #Logistics #SupplyChain #ColdChain #ThatsOnPurpose -- Connect with the Best in Cold --- ✩ Website: https://www.uscold.com ✩ Get a quote for Cold Storage: https://lnkd.in/gahUTeNT ✩ Get a quote for COLDshare Consolidation: https://lnkd.in/gxpntASw ✩ We're Hiring: https://lnkd.in/ghjpnD2G ✩ Watch our latest ColdCast: https://lnkd.in/gBdfG9s7

Data show the dramatic sustainability impact and benefit of USCS's COLDshare Consolidation shipping program. "In 2023, we found the CsC program saved more than 83,000 trucks and more than 49 million miles as a result of consolidation—as compared to all our orders shipping individually,"says Wendy Snoke. "We were able to equate that to more than 88,000 metric tons of emissions. This is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 19,653 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year. It is also equivalent to carbon sequestered by 1,460,280 tree seedlings grown for 10 years."

COLDshare Consolidation: Optimizing Truck Space Reduces Costs and Emissions "We have been able to take trucks off the road because we're more effectively loading our trailers. We're fitting just another couple percent on each truck. And what that does in a program that's shipping 1,000 trucks a week is eliminate 10, 15, 20, 30 trucks a week that are off the highways."
